Dear Doctor,
Parkinson is an old disease since eighteen century.
Suddenly there is an surge of interest and publicity as there are recently more young Parkinson's patients.
Exercises suddenly a hot topic to be discussed to slowdown the PD disease. TEOKIMHOE

Personally, I hope that the interest in Parkinson's continues.
My mom lived with Parkinson's. I say "lived" because that's what she did--until the very end at 92 years old.
While I'm grateful for all the research, I'd like to see more emphasis on how to live with/cope/manage the disease. Families need support--today.
(BTW, I'm in Florida as well)
